I just love where I live, not only do we have a fabulous stretch of the south coast of England , the De la Warr Pavillion a stunning art deco building with art gallery and theatre but ALSO loads of charity shops to sift and thrift through where lovely vintage finds can be had. This makes me happy with all the recycling and up cycling I can do for various sewing projects I set myself (Alice is also keen to make and do)keeping me/us happy and busy bees...

I think this name came to me after realising that I just love to see and watch birds on wire and imagined that one day little birdies may like to perch on my bunting during a happy outdoor gathering.

Hello, I'm Penny
